Alex Pfeiffer

Tanner “Foxy” Foust drove his way into the top qualifying spot with a 90mph+ entry speed and some insane angle on the entry nearly driving past lock. He looked fantastic as always in qualifying at Road Atlanta. Let’s see how he does in competition tomorrow. Here is how the Top 32 stacked up:

***5/8/2010 at 12:11pm EDIT: Tyler McQuarrie and Taka Aono had the same score in qualifying along with Doug Van Den Brink and Cyrus Martinez. We just updated our qualifying list to represent Tyler McQuarrie in 20th and Taka Aono in 21st. They also did the same thing with 24th Dough Van Den Brink and Cyrus Martinez in 25th. Our list came from the live feed which was unofficial and it appears Tyler moved in front.

This one just got brought to our attention during the morning practice. It appears Alex Pfeiffer is not in the Tanaka Racing Chevrolet Corvette for the weekend and is driving his personal Lexus SC300. This car was seen at XDC Round 1 @ Irwindale Speedway earlier this year where he took home top qualifying honors. It will be interesting to see how this car holds up over the weekend and competes on the professional level.

The first round of Xtreme Drift Circuit is in the books finally. I have to say that on almost every level they exceeded my exceptions and while a good portion of the crowd didn’t check out the drifting at all I am shocked they packed Irwindale Speedway out as much as they did. I would of liked a few less show cars and some more drift cars but we’ll take what we can get for a new series launch. About 200 photos highlighting some decent tandem action and a Canadian who drifted his way to victory.
